This may very well be the map that gets you your premium. As well as being very aesthetically pleasing it looks like gameplay was incorporated and that can never turn on you. Just that first screenshot with the watchtower base and the slanted boxes at the bottom looks like it would really enhance gameplay.

The thing that I like about this map as well as all your others is that when you play them you could be walking down a hall in the middle of a firefight and say "Wow look at all these amazing interlocks, or Look at these blue boxes." And it is this kind of detail that really adds to the maps. I know that this is a competitive map, but one playing it would have a very hard time telling the difference.

KOTH and oddball look very intense and fun on this map. In your seventh screenshot you can see a very good example of the professional interlocking incorporated into this map. Sorry to hear that this is your last map on avalanche. I just hope your future forging on sandbox turns out well. What maps you planning on making?

Thanks to Jessica Alba for the sig!
:D

Awesome map. This one of those maps where you stand and stare at it instead of fighting (kinda like me when I first saw the latest Grifball court and that emblem on the wall). The entire structure is very "believeable", like you could expect this to appear naturally on Avalanche. The building is constructed very nicely, and the curves of the watchtower bases add an aesthetic appeal to the walls and such. I am also a fan of the color coordination, and I have never seen quite a feat I think since Transfusion. It also has multiple pathways weaving through each room, which allows all areas to be accessed easily and so it's not so claustrophobic. Each of the rooms is very distinct, which is good so the player can easily tell where they are and where they need to go. This map focuses on simple aesthetic appeal, which is another thing I like. It's not overly filled with objects, but it still all comes together visually and again, it's believable. I downloaded it, but like usual I don't know if I'll ever do a gameplay review. :/

It looks like the map only works for FFA, is that right?
Anyway, great map. Don't make any good Sandbox maps too soon, or I might have to buy Halo Wars. :P

darn the low quality .jpg

my god... my days of searching for the ultimate Avalanche map is over...
aesthetics are beautiful, as gameplay im DL'ing it rite now. if this doesn't get featured, something is wrong. Words cannot simply describe the emotions that I found an epic map that isn't on foundry. I'd love to forge with you, i got skillz. anyways, 6/5, you deserve it.



Go here plz
I make art. Sexy Art.

You have a huge chance of getting Premium. This map really amazes the viewer because your forging is so clean and precise.

The layout looks entirely different from all other maps. I shall play a game on this epic map. I promise, I'm also giving you a full-scale review when I played a game on this.

Val this looks incredible. A map like this really takes some skill and patience I'm sure. Probably one of the most impressive maps I've seen, I just wish I had a working xbox to fully check it out. Maan the more I look at the pics the more awesome it gets. And youre British too hurrah! If this doesn't get the recognition it deserves I will eat my own face.

Another great map from Val. This map plays wonderfully, it looks eye-pleasing too. I hope this gets featured so you become a Premium.

You get a DL from me. It reminds me very much of Halo:CE, and I like that.
It's different, it looks fantastic.
I'll see if I can get a game going and play it.
